Throughout my career I have always focused on outcomes that make a difference for the people of King County: public safety, housing and transportation. We deserve to feel and be safe in our communities – which is why I have delivered public safety solutions from support for law enforcement to crime prevention, and behavioral health responses. Our communities are growing increasingly expensive – which is why I fight for expanded access to affordable housing and convenient, sustainable transportation options.
I’m excited for the opportunity to bring my experience, perseverance and proven record to the office of County Executive.
As King County Executive, I’ll work tirelessly to build the housing we need, at every income level, for every situation.
Housing affordability will be my number one priority!

As part of my campaign travels this weekend, I joined the Kiwanis Salmon Bake in Federal Way — a wonderful event, with great food, awesome music, and a true sense of community. Thank you, Councilmember von Reichbauer, for the invitation!
It was a treat was to have my husband Jim and our ...teenager Victor join me at the event. This campaign is about the future — and for me, that starts with family. Jim and Victor have been my steady support through every step of this journey.
Their endless encouragement reminds me why I’m in this race: to build a King County where every family can thrive.
I’m so grateful for them — thank you and love you, Jim and Victor! 💙
The cuts in Trump’s “Big Ugly Bill,” including to Medicaid, will be devastating across the country and here at home. Today I was glad to stand with SEIU, Indivisible, and so many champions for our communities to fight for families first!

I’m deeply honored to have received the endorsement of the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe.
As a sovereign nation and vital government partner, their leadership, stewardship, and commitment to community are essential to the future of King County. I am committed to investing in our partnership ...— and so grateful for their trust.
Had a great time at the King County Fair in Enumclaw celebrating our region’s rich agricultural heritage — past, present, and future. Agriculture touches all of our lives, from what we eat to how we build resilient, sustainable communities.
A big highlight: I got to meet Oklahoma, the ...friendly and curious sheep who was crowned King Critter, and Miss Agriculture North America, who proudly hails from Hobart right here in King County!
As County Executive, I’ll work hard to represent and serve all parts of our county — from rural farmland to bustling city centers. Vote by August 5th!
Ballots have been out for a week, and Claudia’s been everywhere — from Des Moines, to Bothell, to the Seattle Chinatown-International District — meeting voters, answering questions, and talking about how we can make King County work better for everyone.
If you haven’t voted yet, ...now’s the time! Return your ballot by August 5th 🗳️
Big news: The Urbanist has endorsed our campaign for King County Executive!
This endorsement is deeply meaningful to me, because it comes from people who care as much as I do about how we build a more affordable, sustainable, and inclusive future.
They see what I’ve fought for: ...bold, achievable plans to tackle housing, homelessness, and transit — and my record of delivering real results. As your County Executive, I’ll continue striving every day to build a county that works for everyone.
I’m proud to share some big news: 10 South King County mayors (and one new East King County mayor) just endorsed my campaign for King County Executive — bringing my total to 18 mayoral endorsements, the most of any candidate in this race. I’m honored that they’ve put their trust in me.
...
These leaders aren’t just endorsing me — they’re affirming the power of partnership. In a region as diverse and dynamic as King County, collaboration between local governments is essential. The challenges we face don’t stop at city borders, and neither should our solutions.
From expanding light rail to building affordable housing, improving public safety, and strengthening local services — we’ve made the most progress when we’ve worked together. These mayors and I have stood side-by-side in that work, not just in moments of success, but in the hard, day-to-day efforts to make government more responsive and effective.
This isn’t about starting from scratch — it’s about deepening relationships that are already delivering results. And it’s how I’ll lead as your next Executive: by bringing people together to get things done.
